# Replication Code and Data
+ Navigate to "Replication" subfolder. We recommend that you click on the file "Replication.Rproj" to open a new session in RStudio with the correct working directory loaded and proceed from there. 
+ `Replication\data` folder contains all original data needed to run the replication code. 
+ Run all of R markdown files in the `Replication` folder sequentially (based on numbers in file name prefix) to replicate the tables and figures in the original paper
+ The replicated tables and figures generated in each script are saved in the `Replication\rep_table_fig` folder

# Extension Code and Data
+ Navigate to the `Extension` folder. We recommend that you click on the file "extension.Rproj" to open a new session in RStudio with the correct working directory loaded and proceed from there. 
+ `Extension\data` folder contains all original and cleaned data files; the cleaned data files are generated in the first R markdown file (`00_data_cleaning.Rmd`)
+ Run all of R markdown files in the `Extension` folder sequentially (based on numbers in file name prefix) to perform the extension analyses.
